Michelle Paver and Tom Whipple

It has been said that “Michelle Paver does for the Stone Age what Hilary Mantel does for the Tudors”. Here Joe and Michelle discuss the world Michelle creates in her series Wolf Brother, the research adventures she has been on and her newest book in the series, Viper's Daughter. In our quick fire round we hear from one of our favourite Scoop writers, Tom Whipple, about his love of science and what he wanted to be if he hadn't been the science editor of The Times!
